Want to get involved but don't know how? Here are a few things to get you started:

✅ Know your neighborhood

The Neighborhood Program's mission is "to facilitate effective, informed and representative participation of citizens in government and self-help initiatives and to provide a channel for communication among citizens, elected officials and City department staff ". Provo is divided into 34 Neighborhoods which each elect their own Chair and Vice Chair. The Neighborhood Chair organizes meetings with residents and facilitates communication on local problems in addition to identifying strengths of the neighborhood. Want to know what neighborhood you live in? Simply enter your address into this tool to figure out not only what neighborhood you live in as well as your polling location, city council representative and school district information.

✅ Register to vote
